> Theme:
> This is the fourth in a series of international conferences organized around
> the role of the media in relation to the representation, construction and/or
> production of language. Following on from the previous three conferences, the
> fourth language in the media conference seems like a good occasion to take
> stock of our focus and revisit some of our basic concepts. Given the mundanity
> of media as an unremarkable and integrated part of everyday life, does it
> still make sense to delineate particular domains and activities as Œmedia¹?
> Similarly, given the inherent multimodality of contemporary media and  the
> continuing deconstruction of Œlanguage¹ as a monolithic concept within
> sociolinguistics, can and should we continue to mark out and focus on a
> particular set of practices as Œlanguage¹, and if so, how? With these
> questions in mind, we invite you to submit abstracts for papers which explore
> the representation, construction and/or production of language in the media,
> but in a way which questions and problematises both Œlanguage¹ and Œmedia¹.
> One particular area which seems to be ripe for this type of rethinking is that
> of minority languages and media, and given the location of the conference in
> Ireland and the interests of the local organisers, we would like to call in
> particular for papers which address this topic in an innovative and
> paradigm-shifting way. Alongside this particular focus, the 2011 conference
> will continue to prioritize papers which address: standard languages and
> language standards; literacy policy and literacy practices; language
> acquisition; multilingualism and cross-/inter-cultural communication; language
> and communication in professional contexts; language and class, dis/ability,
> race/ethnicity, gender/sexuality and age; media representations of speech,
> thought and writing; language and education; political discourse; language,
> commerce and global capitalism.
